Also, this is freaking shameful:https://twitter.com/winnersusedrugs/status/317780971351052288
Notice how she doesn't give a fuck whether or not she completely fucks over the reputations, family relationships, etc. of these girls. People like her do a lot of harm to the image of actual, serious, level-headed feminists. Unfortunately, people like her are the ones that are most visible as well.

I hold NeoGAF to a much higher standard than any of those. Which may or may not be wise.
Seriously now, this may be more telling as well:
Number of posts in Gaming: 995.
Number of posts in Offtopic / Community: 0 (at least, I think so).
And it's exactly for the same reasons, I seem to be the only person on Earth that thinks that laying out your private life for the entire Internet to see is conterproductive.

Read Holly's twitter (should be linked a few posts up). She says there were an inordinate amount of females in the VIP. That's the backstage room full of women people assumed wrongly were paid to be there.

I get a bit upset at things like this where a party makes accusations outright instead of asking questions. There wasn't even a need to try to inject outrage or gender politics (at a fucking private party, nonetheless!). It's like this Holly person saw the outrage over the conference deal and decided she wanted her 15 minutes of fame, damn the facts and damn the consequences.

@notch - Hey, there are rumors of you guys hiring people to be at the party? True?
@winnersusedrugs - No

FIN

EDIT: Why was there a question mark at the end of a statement? I dunno?

They do this because there are no consequences. Even if you're proved to be horribly wrong, you just Retweet the replies you've received from crazy people, and suddenly you've switched the situation around to where you become a victim.

And it seems that no matter how wrong you are proven to be, there will always be a hoard of people saying things like "I'm glad you spoke up!" "Thanks for speaking your mind!" "Fuck the haters stay strong!"

Wow.. just... jackassery and assumptions all over. Entire situation conjured up from the imagination of some guy with no actual information, and filtered through a magnifying glass by some gal who refuses, even now, to admit she was wrong.
